The 3 Gorgons were Medusa and her two sisters. Their hair was a tight bundle of snakes, and Medusa was so terrifying, that, according to legend, she would freeze men in stone just by looking right at them. Perseus defeated Medusa by looking at her in a bronze mirror so he wouldn't be turned to stone..
